The premises has been a jewellers and pawnbrokers since 1872, first as Barwick and Haggas then for the past 30-plus years as Herbert Brown. After Herbert Brown closed all its shops in September 2019, three long-time Keighley staff members struck a deal with the landlord and went into business on their own.
Tina Halligan, Jemma Burdett and Jo Harper kicked off their venture, No63 Jewellers. The three employees have between themselves clocked up almost 50 years service at the premises.
No63 Jewellers would continue to sell new and second hand jewellery, buy gold, and carry out jewellery repairs. It would provide a ‘buy-back’ service rather pawnbroking, and will introduce new lines of jewellery and wedding and christening gifts.
